I know!! My last 3 cars have been French, all bought new, all been excellent. I'm currently driving a Peugeot 2008 1,6 diesel and it's superb. Smooth, comfortable, amazingly fast when it needs to be with incredible acceleration and full of toys. Would recommend it highly. I had a Ford S-max as a loan car a couple of years ago, drank diesel like it nothing else. Over the 6 weeks I had it it cost me an extra ?200 in fuel compared to the Citroen I had at the time.
